Green Blocks: Brooks Landing Energy Project

compact florescent

NeighborWorks® Rochester is working with the Barton Street Block Club to improve energy efficiency of homes on Barton Street in southwest Rochester. If successful, we hope to expand to the rest of the Brooks Landing neighborhood. The results of the pilot can then be used to help create visibility for Healthy Blocks neighborhoods, identifying them as “green” communities.

 

Are you ready to reduce your home energy costs today? Sign up online and we'll stop by with your free, energy efficient bulbs next time we're in the neighborhood!

What We'll Do For You:

• Door-to-Door Outreach

Residents of Barton Street block club and/or Brooks Landing Healthy Blocks neighborhood, with assistance from NeighborWorks® Rochester staff will go door to door introducing the project.

•Trade Free Compact Florescent Light Bulbs

Residents will be offered new CFL bulbs to replace any existing incandescent bulbs in their home. (Must provide old bulbs in a one-for-one exchange).

• Help You Sign Up for a Free Energy Audit: At this time residents will be informed of NeighborWorks® Rochester’s free energy audits through the GJGNY program and if possible, the application will be completed. Residents will also be able to provide their POD and account number from their RGE bill to have NeighborWorks® Rochester print out the necessary energy usage from the system.

• Provide Other Information: Residents will be provided a folder that has information on free/inexpensive ways to reduce energy costs, as well as other Healthy Blocks/Barton Street Block Club information.
